Summary: Worth watching
Review: I'll start by saying this is definetly not one of the best movies by a long shot, but it is still worth seeing at least once. Most people I know either love Jeepers Creepers, or hate it with a passion, but I'm kind of in the middle. The villain is one of the best I've seen in a movie in a long time, and is very entertaining. This movie, unlike most horror movies these days, is actually pretty scary and will give you that creepy feel that everybody loves. I recommend renting it before you buy it, but it is overall a pretty good movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Heebie Jeebies!
Review: A far better than average teen horror flick, largely due to the use of eerie, X FILES influenced, Hitchcock-like photography, JEEPERS CREEPERS is the perfect Halloween movie ... except for, of course, HALLOWEEN.

Two college students, brother and sister, are driving home from school on break, when the happen to pass by an old church where they believe they see a cloaked figure dropping bodies down a well. Before you can say "book us a sequel," the figure gives pursuit ... and, sadly, the two students are behaving like other students plunked down into the absurd circumstances of the typical horror film.

Subplots are dangled here, hinting at what an exception to the teen genre JEEPERS could have been, but they're left unexplored. "Things just aren't the same at home because mom sounds ... I don't know ... unhappy." "Sis, what's up with that boyfriend of yours back at school?" Also, why is it that the residents of the county have never reported seeing the butchering maniac driving around in a truck that stands out more than a scratched frame on a STAR WARS film? The main plotline -- is it a psychopathic killer preying upon innocent victims or is it some creature of the undead? -- is never sacrificed along the way; had JEEPERS elected to explore some of these other themes, it certainly would've elevated the story-telling to a height rarely reached in modern horror films.

However, the screenwriter/director (Victor Salva) makes one very intelligent decision: he sneaks in a plot point which makes a sequel almost impossible. Unlike other creatures, this one only feasts every 23 years (exactly why, we're never told). I say 'almost' b/c the studio recently announced plans to produce a follow-up.

While JEEPERS employs many of the conventions of horror films that makes them largely predictable, mostly incredulous, and inherently flawed, the flick also manages not to take itself too seriously, throwing in a few chuckles at the genre but not at the expense of the experience.

Summary: horror or comedy?
Review: i expected a horror movie and i got a pretty good laugh from how dumb it was. from the horrible acting and facial expressions by the actors to the "jeepers creepers" song i couldn't seem to make myself jump or freak out, but i was crying from laughter. what's up with this clive barker figure saying it's the scariest movie what was he doing while he was watching. i give this minus 5 stars so stay away from the movie unless you feel like getting a cheap laugh...oh wait i paid 4 bucks to rent the thing you know just forget it

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: hold the head please,,but gimme some tongue
Review: Jeepers creepers where ya get those peepers..MAN THAT"S IRRITATING!...the song in this movie. The movie is good,plot kinda murky..the demon wakes up every 29th day of every 29th spring?..um ok. Well Trish and Darry are right on the mark with that date, dirty laundry,dead cell phone and sticky clutch included. They're driving on this lonely road(lovely scenery)
when they drive by this run down church and see this..guy..pulling out bloody sheets with bodies in them.
This is where the fun starts.
This creepy demon or whatever it is jumps in his decrepit looking
truck and gives chase,,however it's souped up
The movie is kind of unclear as it goes along, the town they land in is completely unbeknownst of any demon
Well later the kids tell the cops and they finally confront the demon as it lands on top of the cop cars roof. One Gory Scene
coming right up( A Twitch of humour too when the demons done with it's snack)
All in all not a bad movie..the corniest scene though (my favorite) is when Trish is trying to run the demon down and he jumps up and does the"running over the car" routine.Well you'll see.
Thumbs up

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: First half is Creepers while the second half is Jeepers
Review: The first half of this movie is excellent with suspense and a even a scene where they make fun of old horror movies. The introduction of the truck and the evil "thing" driving it was right on target.
The problem is the 2nd half where we see what the evil character really is and the history behind it. It just gets a little fake toward the end and seems to stretch and contort an otherwise good movie. I recommend you see this movie as it does have some aspects of what a good horror movie should be.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: Personally I love HORROR movies and I was surprised that I didn't hear about this movie earlier although it was extremely scary! You just can't take a breath for full 1.5 hours. To me the best part was the first half an hour. It was well made. The car scenes, truck scene and the pipe adventure was SUPERB.

The weak points I found were:
1. It is a monster movie which I find difficult to swallow, I prefer serial killers characters!
2. There were few mistakes that the director overlooked such as:
a) Trish (Gina Philips) being able to run after the monster kidnapped her brother at the end of the movie although the Police station doors were electrically locked.
b) The policemen not shooting the monster's wings (before he flys with Trish) at the end of the movie although they had more than enough time to do so.
c) The dead bodies in the Church basement were so obviously fake.
d) Darry (Justin Long) body & face at the end of the movie was so obviously fake.
3. In the DVD bonuses (the making of the movie) I didn't like the comments & big ego of the director (Victor Salva). I found his claim that he can do better than the movies "The Sixth Sense" & "Blair Witch Project", very much offending.

But in the end, this movie was successful enough to scare me! And I'll look forward for part 2.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: With your brains off...
Review: This is sheer enjoyment if you watch it with your brains in the "off" position. Even for the horror genre, there are actual plot holes as big as the hole where the Demon beast hide the bodies of its victims!!!!
Other than this, there's no way for you not like the first half of the movie, where we are introduced to the brothers, the beast and a few of its preys. THen things get a little bit out of the hand with the history, bnut the overall result is a very satisfactory horror movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: hmmm.....
Review: That is the worst - least scary - film I have ever seen. Promising first 15 minutes followed by the least intelligent, pointless collection of disjointed scenes, lame acting and general nonsense I have ever come across. Where was the tension, fear, scares? None....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horrifiying
Review: I thought that this film was very well put together. It is terribly scary and will give you chills every time you watch it! The creeper was the most grousome thing you could ever see with him ripping out tounges and eating hearts to survive. You even see him in the daylight dressed in dirty clothes and driving a beat-up truck. When he dumps dead bodies down a pipe, the two teens go to see what they were. The guy falls down the pipe and finds bodies all over the wall. He is scared for life when he sees that. The ending of this movie is completly unexpected and is sad as well. GO RENT THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!
